That the City Council enter into an agreement with the Monarc Estates, Inc. to purchase a sewer line to be installed by said corporation along Merced Street north from Ramona Boulevard to Olive Street. 2. That said line be ten inches 10") in diameter from Ramona Boulevard to Los Angeles Street, a distance of approximately 2644 feet, and eight inches 8") in diameter from Los Angeles Street to Tract 26009 located on Olive Street, a distance of approximately 3030 feet. The line should be engineered and constructed, with required man holes, and wyes, to meet the requirements of the City Engineer. 3. That said line, after it has been constructed become the sole property of the City of Baldwin Park and that the City pay the Monarc Estates, Inc. for this line the following consideration: A. The City to replace all pavement along Merced Avenue from Ramona Boulevard to Olive Street. The Assistant City Engineer has estimated that this work can be performed by City forces with a material cost of approximately $3,000.00.. B. The City to pay the Monarc Estates, Inc. a sum of money not to exceed $8255.00. The exact sum to be determined as 50% of the cost in excess of $61,490.00 which said developer pays for the installation of all sewers and house connections in Tract 26009 and the above described trunk line along Merced Avenue from Ramona north to Olive Street. The cost shall include the Engineering fees for the Merced portion of the line only. 4. In addition to the above cost it is recommended that the Council waive the usual plan checking, inspection and permit fees. This recommendation is based on the premise that these changes would not be applicable if the work was performed by the City.

The City Council approved the final map of this tract with the stipulation that dry sewers be in- stalled within the subdivision and that cess pools only be constructed; however, the Los Angeles County Health Department will not permit pools only" unless the developer can guarantee all hookups to a public sewer system within two 2) years. It has been estimated that this method of disposing of sewage within the tract would cost the subdivider: Sewers $39,000.00 Pools Only 22,,490.00 TOTAL COST: $61,490.00 2. One other alternative would be for the Council to waive the dry line requirement within the tract and allow the subdivider to Install cess pools and septic tanks. It has been estimated that this alternative would cost the subdivider $51,900.00. 3. The remaining alternative is for the subdivider to construct a complete sewer system throughout the tract and to run a line along Merced Avenue from the Tract to the Sanitation District Line at Ramona Boulevard. The estimated cost of this method of disposing of the sewage is: Tract Sewers $39,000.00 House Connections 9,000.00 Merced Line 27,000.00 Merced Line Engineer ing 3.000.00 TOTAL COST: $78,000.00 4. The contractor is currently constructing the third phase of the Sanitation District Line and has indicated that the outfall line along Ramona Boulevard will be com- pleted in sufficient time so that the above system could be connected prior to time of occupancy in the Tract. 5. If alternative No. 3 is approved the construction of the Merced Line will make a sewer line available to a large segment of the City and thus encourage development of the over-all. sewer system. The subdivider has agreed to the above arrangement providing: 1. Merced Avenue be closed to through traffic during construc- tion. 2. All construction of the project be under private contract, with copies of the-bid released to the City Engineer. 3. The City guarantee that the Sanitation District Line be completed by the time this tract is occupied by the first purchaser or the City pay for the pumping of the sewage from the tract until the line is completed. I would recommend that these arrangements be accepted with the exception of Item 3. The City Attorney has some question as to whether or not the City could legally expend public funds to pump the sewage from a private tract. It appears, however, from consultation with the contractor constructing the third phase of the district line, that the line will be completed in ample time.
